Play War in the Gulf Online
Dodge missiles in a jet that handles like a shopping cart, drop bombs that shake the screen, and pray you don’t slam into an aircraft carrier again. Pure chaotic DOS energy.
Game Overview
"War in the Gulf" is that kind of MS-DOS game where you boot it up and within seconds you're already scrambling to evade incoming missiles. No tutorials, no hand-holding—just you, a jet, and the entire Persian Gulf trying to kill you. The first time I played, I crashed into an aircraft carrier because I forgot how sensitive the controls were. Lesson learned.
You pick between fighters or bombers, and honestly, the bombers feel like flying a brick with rockets—but in a weirdly satisfying way. The pixelated explosions and chunky radar blips have aged about as well as you'd expect, but there's something about the way the screen shakes when you nail a perfect bombing run that still hits right. It's not trying to be realistic, just fast and loud in all the best ways.
If you miss the days when flight sims were more about reflexes than manuals, this one's got your back. Just don't blame me when you realize you've been hunched over the keyboard for two hours straight.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
